This book is designed for the complete newcomer to
computers and the programming language BASIC.
The book takes the reader step-by-step through Amstrad
BASIC. Commands are thoroughly examined as they are
introduced and are incorporated in numerous example
programs. Readers will already know enough to write and
run their own short programs by the end of chapter
one!
The programs in this book have been written to illustrate
the use of structured programming, making programs
easier to write and understand.
This book is a complete course in itself, but when you
wish to know more about the Amstrad, book 2, ‘Continuing Basic’, is also available.
